Deciduous Fruits Pay. The Johnson apricot orchard on Crowe avenue in this place yielded from $190 to $210 an acre this season. The Wilson apricot orchard of four acres near Lordsburg in this valley, had a crop of 89 tons that sold for $22 a ton at the depot. The cash returns from the fruit were $837, or $29 an acre. J.J. White of this place got 22 tons of apricots from his 200 trees on two acres, and sold to Sherman, Marr Higgins for $20 a ton. A check for the crop from two acres, for $440 would make our Eastern farmers’ eyes open with surprise. The Stevenson apricot trees (100 of them) on the Kingsley track bore the lightest crop of fruit ever known for them. Yet when the yield was dried it amounted to 1050 pounds. It sold for 120 cents a pound, and a check for #13125 was given for the acre’s yield. There are yet no accurate esti mates of the profit our fruit grow ers will reap ‘from their prune or chards this season, for that fruit will not be harvested and sold for some 30 or 40 days yet... The apri cot crop of Pomona valley has been sold and shipped, and the peach yield is fast coming into market. E. B. McDill reports having tak en about 53 tons of Moorpark apri cots from two acres (200 trees, seven years old) this season. He dried his own fruit. He dried his own fruit, and got 6643 pounds of dried fruit.He sold for 12 cents a pound and after paying for favor in’ dry ing and hauling his fruit, his clear profit from the crop was $805.16. This is the best apricot report of the valley this season.—Pomona Progress. Choice Peaches. [tas a well known fact that as good peaches can be grown at South Riverside as at any other point in this section, but we never was com pletely satisfied on the question as we are at the present time until this week when we were treated to a large basket of the most hand some peaches that we ever had the pleasure of looking upon. They were large and lucious and of a favor that would satisfy anyone that the peaches could not be ex celled. We have to thank Mr. George L. Joy for this fine sample of choice fruit.It was grown on his five acre place bordering on the Boulevard where Mr. Joy is grow ing a great variety of spies,did fruit trees all of which are now in bear ing. We have often wondered why the people of South Riverside have not planted more deciduous fruit trees. They grow rapidly here and soon come into bearing and the profits from a peach, apricot, or prune orchard are very large, all the way from $100 to $400 per acre have been obtained this season by those owning will cared for orchards in different sections of the county. We hope to see: more deciduous fruit trees planted another season. No Danger of Overproduc tion, The Press saws that New York city consumes an average of forty carloads of fruit per day the year around. ‘This is in the aggregate 14,600 carloads in a year. Pro vided the people of the entire United States consume as imitcd fruit in proportion as do the citizens of New York the total yearly consumption would — be 584,000 carloads. It would hardly seem probable in view — of such figures as these that there is any danger of an overproduction of fruite. It may be interesting in this connection to note that New York city consumes daily 160 carloads of vegetables, 1600 cattle, 8000 sheep, 1365 calves, 5,086 hogs, 9,500 fowls, 11,830 barrels of flour 1,697,600 eggs, 46,870 pounds of cheese, 207,560 pounds of butter, 704,280 quarts of milk, 2OIL bags of coffee and TO00 chests of tea, Between the Rows. An eastern farmer has much to learn before he can successfully take charge of a California ranch. About his first lesson is that he can’t make water run up hill. Seasons in pruning, budding and transplanting he finds a necessity, but in the writer’s mind, one great fault—one which is seldom correct ed without bitter experience—is overcrowding. On several newly planted places in Alhambra, I have noticed the attempt to make a_liv ing “between the rows” is carried to the extreme. In one orchard the orange trees are planted 15x18 feet apart, between the rows three rows of blackberries running the long way, a row of potatoes between the blackberries and on each side, and as if this was not sapping the life from the ground fast enough, pumpkins, the very octopus of or ange land, had been sown broad cast. Three years of such planting will ruin what would be as fine orchards as could be found in the county.— Phoenix.
